Stuck!

So tonight I was hassled by a good friend about my blog. :) She said that she couldn't keep up on everything if I didn't blog about it. Well, my friends, I haven't blogged because I am stuck! Literally stuck in everything...relationships, parenting, marriage, homeschooling and even blogging. This has definitely been a trying season for me and it can seriously end anytime soon, like yesterday. I haven't blogged because I haven't felt anything was blog worthy, sorry.

So let's see, where to start. Homeschooling....well, isn't going that great. We are stuck in a rut. We have still only been doing 3 worksheets and we're a month into it. Those are about all I can get out of him and me. I LOVE the Math and all, but we are bored and I do mean WE. He is tired of doing the same old things everyday and frankly so am I. I just can't throw another worksheet into it. This was supposed to be fun and I'm not having any fun so I know that he's not. I still have to add in Language and Spelling. We are doing a little better on reading, and I really honestly mean a little. We are definitely not reading like we should (we have increased from not at all though), but I think it goes back to the whole boredom thing. I have got to find a way to make this fun for him. And honestly, me too. That was the whole point to this. The twins on the other hand LOVE worksheets!! I just wish I had a little bit more to go along with their curriculum though. Sure we play games and paint and all that fun stuff, but there has to be more. Surely there's more! So, you all may think I'm crazy and I'm starting to think it myself, but I'm considering throwing out everything and trying something new. Ouch! Here's the problem...thats a ton of money down the drain and no money to buy new things. Honestly guys, I'm really starting to question whether I can do this. I know everyone has said that the first year is the hardest, but seriously we have to accomplish something and I feel like we are not accomplishing anything at all. I have lost all my motivation and energy. See why I haven't blogged. It's depressing. :(

So I guess that leaves me with relationships, parenting and marriage. Can I just say one word...disconnected. That is how I feel. And I think I'll just leave it at that because I could probably go into a long list off of that.

I know, I know, my first post in a long time and a depressing one at that. Hopefully I'll have something more positive to post later. Oh wait, I do have something completely off the subject. :)

Fireproof!! If you haven't seen it...go see it! Its a great movie! Here's the backstory. Alot of you may not know that I am a huge fan of the broadway musical Rent, really broadway in general, but Rent is my all-time fav. When I say huge I mean it. I have seen it 8 times, 5 of those were in NYC. all but twice from the pit seats. :) So anyway, its run has come to an end (12 years on broadway...the 7th longest running show) and they filmed the last show to air in the theatres. Needless to say I was very excited!! I bought my tickets 2 weeks in advance thats how excited I was. I will NEVER do that again!! I would not suggest that to anyone. Why you ask. Well, I'll tell ya. haha My friend and I got to theatre so excited and with so much energy. We got our popcorn and walked in theatre number 3 to hear the music playing. Now mind you that the movie wasn't supposed to start until 2 and its about 1:40. We just thought they were playing the soundtrack or something. That was until we notice that its pitch black, Tracie and Eden were on the screen singing Take Me or Leave Me, which meant it was past the intermission and everyone was looking at us like why are you walking in now. We were so confused. So to cut this short, they changed the time!!! The movie was originally planned to start at 2, which is what my ticket said. They changed it to 12!! Now I am not usually one to start a fuss, but this was the last day it was to be played and they shouldn't have changed the time after they sold a ticket. So after begging and pleading to play it again so we could see it and then refusing, we compromised. They gave us our money back, let us into a movie for free and gave us coupons. Oh, plus we got the Rent poster that they were using to advertise it. I wasn't kidding when I said I'm a huge fan. haha So, thats how we saw Fireproof. I will say that I am still a little upset over the whole issue, but it was meant for us to see Fireproof. I am amazed at how well this movie is put together and right on the money. So, I don't usually go to the theatre or advertise a movie, but go see it!! I am going to try to see it again only with my husband this time. Anyone up for a movie date?? Oh, and don't forget the box of tissues, you'll need it! :)

How's that for my first blog in almost a month. :) And I thought I had nothing to blog about. Still not sure its all blog worthy, but there it is Renay. haha
